10 of the best: DutchNews.nl readers photograph the Netherlands

To celebrate DutchNews.nl’s 10th anniversary, we asked our Facebook page friends to submit their favourite photos which they think best sum up the Netherlands. Yes, all the cliches were there, but so was Albert Einstein. Here are the five winners and the five runners-up.

Catalina Aristizábal

This photo had so many votes on Facebook, we suspect a little help from family and friends. But it was also a winner with the DutchNews.nl team.

Natalie Bheenick

This reminds us of walks on a chilly winter’s day.

We know clogs are out of fashion among all but Volendam fishmongers and farmers, but we wonder if these were ever actually worn?

Sarah Bevis

You can’t get more Dutch than skaters passing windmills in the snow. Fingers crossed we have a winter like this again soon.

Pamela Hall

This has definitely been through some sort of filter but we like it.

Danitza Collot

We love the idea of Albert Einstein as an Albert Heijn worker, complete with carrier bag. But could some bright spark please enlighten us… E=ah2?
